WTB - one shock, maybe springs?
I've been running on my stock suspension since day 1. I've got 157k miles on it now so it's time to refresh finally.
Thanks to Huy, I've got 3 already from his leftover stock suspension, so I only need one more and I'm thinking of leaving it as stock because it's served me well for this long, why change? I'm also thinking if I can get some springs for all 4 corners that arent as worn as mine, it would be smart too.
Does anyone have anything lying around?

I believe I have springs, Im also pretty sure I have shocks, but the top hat was drilled to fit konis. Ill check this evening, If I have them you can take them.
They had ~38k on them when taken off.

Aaron, try to keep the springs from the same model year. This is an interesting read, it outlines the differences as the car spanned its production run. I would guess the valving may be different as well.
Good luck sir.

Yeah for trying to maximize the lifespan of the struts I would keep them with the OE intended spring rate. I wasn't able to check last night since the springs I have are across town. If I still have the struts Aaron could simply swap his top hats onto mine and he should be set.
Ill pm this afternoon Aaron

I appreciate it, Chris.
Ira, thanks for the readup. I'm just scouring for parts at this point but I will definitely keep all that in mind.
Right now, if I can get all of Chris' springs and one shock, plus Huy's 3 shocks I think I'm set.
